Don't you just love bureaucratic mischief?

I find the argument in the comments over the definition of "boat" ppretty entertaining.

I've been to Cambridge several times. Poling they do there is on punts, wide flat bottomed vessels and primarily for tourists. River they punt on is slow moving and murky, but the view from the river is great. Cambridge is a university town, with old buildings and a vibrant main square.
